To start, this is my first forum post, apologies for any missed etiquette or poor formatting-
so a friend of mine started playing again, and as it goes that kick started my own account back into activity. This time though i find myself actually getting real into it and attached to my dragons, so its about time I finally drew some!
Deus, a spiral born deep within the Tangled Wood with Al, another spiral who once studied within the Arcanist’s libraries before his fateful meeting with the shadow dragon. Al has always held an insatiable curiosity that, combined with a touch of naivety, led to one very fateful meeting with the shadow dragon.
...or that's how i find myself daydreaming about it so far ^,^ it fits in with my apparent flight change i don't remember doing at some point in this accounts life, i used to be arcane i realize! back to subject though, i don't often draw a lot of creatures, (maybe except for a WOF moment in middle school) so it was really fun analyzing and figuring out their anatomy (so many wings?!?) after all is done i found my sketching process interesting enough to share

my dragons aren't decked out in accents and apparel but i think that saved me a whole lot more extra trouble lol, this is Deus and Al!Deus, a spiral born deep within the Tangled Wood with Al, another spiral who once studied within the Arcanist’s libraries before his fateful meeting with the shadow dragon.

(layout stage)
i had a vision in my mind, but no idea how to tackle the knotted ball that is the spirals anatomy, so i focused on the layout and most basic shapes of the thin windy bodies and tacking on wings and limbs after i figured that first part out. Once getting everything down how i liked it i realized how i gotta draw it properly in proportion which was a very very humbling process
(solid sketch stage)
though a harrowing experience figuring out how their tiny limbs look and how all those wings connect to them and where their underbelly is at any time, ugh, i got it down! there was a lot more to it too, even more preliminary sketching before the screenshots ive sent, and lining and coloring is always a treat no matter what the subject, but i'm sure i've drabbled enough. thank you for reading if you have so far and spending a moment on my art :3 to see you off i'll leave a couple silly doodles i made while figuring out their faces
